Help, N00b Question

[Upgraded]

Hey Everyone

I dunno if this is the right place to ask, But im really interested in getting my hands on some type of 2 way radio so that I can not only hear Police, Ambulance's ect but I want to be able to hear the drive thru's and even talk /hack them.

Basically I want a way to do this

http://www.phonelosers.org/tv/tacobell/

Is there such thing as a 2 way radio or whatever they are called that isn't too expensive that will allow me to do this with some general hacking?
I was looking at the Radio shack pro-95 but I dont know if you can actually talk through it or just listen?

So basically I'm looking for ( Sorry I dont know the names for the product so bare with me ) a Box that will allow me to hear and talk through, hacking Radio frequencies similar to this one, I'd love to be able to hear up to 1GHZ+

http://www.dis.org/phon-e/RadioHackin.txt this site suggested a radio that could do that but I cant find any traces that it even exsists anymore.

Anyways thanks

Watch the video again and pause it when they have the radio in the frame.

The make and model are clearly visable.

Or just click below.

With pretty much every ham radio (that's what you'll need, a regular 2-way walkie-talkie will only pick up the FRS/GMRS/whatever frequencies, most amateur radios can pick up from a few kilohertz to a 999 megahertz or higher), you'll need to remove diodes, solder, or do something else to the radio's internals to be able to increase transmit.

Ahh alright cool.

If I were to get a Ham Radio...

1) Is the Yaesu VX-7R capible of letting you talk and recieve Radio waves

2) Which is the easiest to hack, I'm not good with electronics If possible I need one with a site that has ' how to hack it '

Peace

My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself., learning something for reasons other than to "hack" are so passe. I only read about physics so I can build rockets like in october sky that movie with Jake Gyllenhall, do you remember? ya they were so cool, i iwsh i could do that. do u have ne articlz on like "how to make rocket go up not down"? i dont no mush about nothin, so.....haha

Sorry, I'm just really new to this Radio Stuff,
I wasn't sure if in the video they were using more than just a VX-7R, It looked like they had a huge ham radio as well.

Anyways Is the VX-74 able to do everything I'm after?

[amazing_ned]

I'm not familiar with the VX-7R, but usually it is fairly easy, usually requiring nothing more than removing a few diodes or possibly a little soldering.

Google ham radio modifications or extended transmit or something, and you should find a site that has a huge database of radios and instructions on how to extend the transmit range (not miles, but frequencies). I don't remember the URL because the last time I used it was a few years ago.

[Upgraded]

Awesome, so once I have access to those ' frequencies ' I can then talk on them through a drive thru?

The Yaesu VX-7R is only an HT (Handie Talkie or hand held radio) and only puts out a few watts. It will do the trick though.

Mods on ham Radios can be found at http://www.mods.dk/

Once you do the mod to the radio, you will have more frequencies to transmit on than the radio is sold as, and included in those frequencies is most fast food drive up frequencies.

Next you need to find those freqs!

Just be careful not to transmit on the police, fire or Ham Band frequencies. none of them take kindly to screwing around with their frequencies.

Aight I got myself a nice hand held Ham radio walkie talkie.

it's been modded and can go up to 2Ghz frequency wise, which is EVERYTHING.
However I wasn't sure or not how to do a drive thru prank, how do I actually hack the drive thru so my voice is over theres?

Please stop saying "hack." When you sing in harmony with someone, you don't call it hacking, do you?

It's not 3Ghz, is it?  That's not EVERYTHING.  You got scammed!

It sounds like you want us to do all the work for you.  Researching the sites you find on Google will tell you exactly what you need to know.  Plus, you'll learn more that way.  Nobody here can help you anyway, since you didn't tell us what kind of radio you got.

Dude, Half the fun of doing it is figuring out how to! There are plenty of websites that will lead you in the right direction.

I got the VX-7R but it can't do jack shi~

It can barely do 420 - 470 Mhz, I was hoping for a Radio to do 1 Mhz to 999 Mhz, but according to my local radio dealer on the military has access to them.

The VX-7R cannot listen to police or anything here, since they all use Digital, same with The Drive thru's, so im stuck with a $500 radio that cant do anything..

life goes on
